As for the purpose, there are four purpose of profanity in Pulp Fiction, namely dysphemistic, emphatic, idiomatic, cathartic, and abusive. Sex profanity are the most used type of profanity, while religious profanity are the least used type. Emphatic purpose is the most used profanity purpose, while idiomatic purpose are the least used purpose.

For the next researchers, it would be useful if they investigate profanity based on medias that portray more realistic social interaction or even goes far as focusing on real life human interaction in society

It belongs to a qualitative content analysis approach. The data source comes from the movie script of Freedom Writers in the form of conversation and utterances of the characters that are appropriate with the focused analysis. It uses the Grice’s theory of flouting maxims as well as implicature and Searle’s theory of illocutionary acts to support the data analysis. It reveals that the characters flouted the maxim of quantity, maxim of quality, maxim of relevance, and maxim of manner that create the presence of implicature. They used generalized conversational implicature and particularized conversational implicature to calculate the implied meanings.

The data statistically calculate using Pearson Product Moment Formula. The obtained rvalue was 0.861 and the critical value for N= 30 was 0.361. It means that the result obtained from the calculation is greater than critical value. Based on the hypothesis testing, it is found that the value of the calculate t is 9.121, while the critical value of t table with 5% significance with df =29 is 2.045. The value t is higher than t table or 9.121>2.045, it means that the alternative hypothesis is accepted, while the null hypothesis is rejected. This fact was based on the result of the test. Most of the students who had good scores in simple past tense test also got good scores in writing recount text ability test.

Abstract

Problem-solving is one of the skills that is crucial to equip students to face a variety of challenges in the future as well as related to the development of their lifelong literacy skills. One of the potential solutions for promoting students’ problem-solving skills is introducing Computational Thinking. However, in the context of schools in East Kalimantan, both teachers and students have not been familiar with Computational Thinking. Therefore, this current pilot study aimed at introducing Computational Thinking to teachers, especially primary school teachers, by developing a workshop and a module suitable to the local contexts and needs. This study involved 22 primary school teachers from Kutai Kartanegara Regency who had no prior knowledge and experience concerning Computational Thinking. The teachers were trained the basic concepts of CT and how to implement CT in the class especially in relation to literacy aspects. Afterwards, the teachers were assigned to develop a CT-infused lesson and did a self-reflection on the process. The findings from the post-workshop questionnaires indicated that most teachers showed positive attitudes towards CT and implementing CT in their lessons. Furthermore, they also voiced out that they would like to learn further about CT, particularly related to Literacy and the Minimum Competency Assessment (AKM).

Abstract

Academic words include words that are not commonly encountered in formal circumstances and specific to particular fields of study. Undergraduate students of the English Department are required to acquire academic words in applied linguistics for academic reading and writing research articles. This paper reports on generating the academic word list for the students of the English Department by using AntConc, a concordance software application. In this study, corpus linguistic research was adopted, in particular the corpus-based analysis category. Data were gathered from approximately one thousand credible Applied Linguistics journal articles published from 2008 to 2021. AntConc software played a significant role in processing these data to get the intended corpus, which was then classified and categorized based on the frequency of occurrences. The results include an academic word list and its word family. These clusters of academic words are intended for undergraduate students of the English Department in the first up to fourth academic semesters to prepare them to participate in international academic discourse, such as writing and publishing research articles. This list can also be used as a basis for further research related to academic vocabulary.

Abstract

This study investigates the correlation between the implementation of Problem-Based Learning (PBL) and students' interest in learning English at the junior high school level. PBL is a student-centered pedagogical approach that engages learners in solving real-world problems to develop critical thinking, collaboration, and communication skills. The primary research question examines whether the application of PBL significantly influences students’ interest in English language learning. Employing a quantitative correlational design, the study involved 50 eighth-grade students from a public junior high school in Indonesia. Data were collected through structured questionnaires assessing perceptions of PBL and levels of interest in English learning. The results, analyzed using the Pearson Product-Moment correlation test, revealed a significant positive relationship (r = 0.630, p = 0.000), indicating that increased implementation of PBL correlates with higher student interest. These findings underscore the potential of PBL to enhance student engagement and motivation. English language educators are encouraged to adopt PBL strategies to foster more meaningful and interactive learning environments.
